Re: 99 V70 Odometer Issue

Interesting. I am going to pull the ABS unit and send to Midwest first to see if that resolves the problem. No harm in spending the $80 even if the unit is OK (it likely won't be for much longer). If this does not fix it i'll look into CDM/DIM. The speedo is generally correct but it jumps while acce...

99 V70 Odometer Issue

Recently acquired 99 V70 NA Automatic, 97k miles. I bought the car last week and upgraded the ETM with a contact less sensor today. I drove it for the first time tonight. ETM issues are solved, no more CEL. ABS and Brake lights come on so i'm thinking the ABS unit will need to go to Midwest. While d...

Driver Side Axle Stuck

Evening All, I've spent hours trying to pull the driver's side axle out of the transmission and broken several tools in the process. I've tried a cold chisel, pry bar, back end of a hammer, slide hammer with axle puller attachment (loaner axle puller attachment doesn't fit with the clearance availab...

2004 S60 Radio Controls Very Sensitive

2004 S60, ~105,000 miles, have owned it for about a month. The radio controls, specifically volume, source, and "favorite selector" seem to have a mind of their own. The slightest touch will make the volume shoot up or go to mute, for example. Interestingly, the steering wheel controls wor...

Rear Right Door Stuck Closed

Hello, I have an interesting problem that I hope someone will have some insight on. The back door on the passenger's side is stuck closed. The lock is in the down position and nothing will allow it to be pulled up. Not through the electronic lock system or by manually pulling it. I can't even get th...

Re: Bent Rims-Help

OK, thanks for all the help. I've tracked down a set of rims with tires mounted on Craigslist off a '93 Volvo 960. They are 15" rims, but the tires are 195/65R15. The tires I currently have on my '98 S70 are 195/60R15. Would the new ones fit being they are slightly different in size? Thanks aga...

Bent Rims-Help

I recently hit a pot hole so big that it bent my two RH side rims. The tires immediately lost air. The tire store was able to straighten them so that the tires would keep air, but they still leak pretty quickly. They recommended I replace them. The problem is I don't know where to find new ones. The...

Re: Rough Idle, Check Engine Light Illuminated

The plugs were installed after the problems started and yes, they were gapped correctly. The thing that confuses me is the fact that all 5 cylinders started misfiring at once. Would just one plug wire going bad cause the misfiring of all cylinders? Or would it be a component that affects all cylinde...

Re: Rough Idle, Check Engine Light Illuminated

Update: I finally read the codes and determined it is missing on ALL cylinders. Six codes in total, the 5 misfire codes and the "multiple misfires" code. I recently replaced the plugs, no help.

Why would all 5 cylinders suddenly start misfiring? Any ideas?
